So in your case, the new EPA rules don't apply but that doesn't mean that the painters can power sand these shutters and send a cloud of lead dust into the air. If the work is done on site, they should still use common sense and put down plastic to contain the paint chips and dust, wear respirators if they are scraping, and avoid dry sanding unless the sander is connected to a HEPA vac. And, of course, the work area should be cordoned off from the public.

We have exterior shutters - in desperate need of paint - on most of the windows . I'm not sure how old the shutters are - I suspect some of them were replaced over the years, don't know for sure. I don't know when they were last painted. In a nutshell, I don't know if there is any lead paint, but I probably cannot prove there is not. Therefore, if someone were to paint these shutters, would they be obligated to abide by the new lead paint abatement laws? If yes, is there any grant money available for this kind of project? Because it surely sounds like a very expensive procedure.

>> the guidelines stipulate that if you disrupt 20 square feet or more paint at the exterior, you must abide by the new regulations...in your case, the shutters could be removed to an offsite shop location and i don't think you or the shop would be held to these new standards....

>> Any house that is pre 1978 is bound to have lead paint Removing putty and or paint that has lead in it can be as dangerous as leaving it in place Most removal methods require scrapping or peeliing which may leave dust and chips in the house or just outside the house There are some fairly expensive high tech methods of determining if there is lead paint in the house There may be some simple chemical tests available through various home improvement stores In any event multipal ites on the property should be tested Results might vary depending on the testers skill There may be some grant money available through Towns Building Department Another possible source of low cost or no cost grant money or loans can be gotten from banks or goverment sources if the work is done under energy efficient rehab or general rehab programs.
